Humility and Awe

Lune Lune was a little cat of the Water element. His adorable appearance contrasted with his personality, for he was very full of himself.

Having gradually lost his curiosity, he had also lost that gentle feeling of being amazed by everything nature has to offer.

But an encounter changed his mindset forever and helped him rediscover the humility that had been buried deep within him.

That day, he followed a young Esper boy named Guruo, who was running to attend a lesson taught by his favorite teacher, Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

Guruo was the perfect example of an ideal student, and although this could somewhat put off some of his classmates, no one could deny the effort he put in every day to become a better version of himself.

Today’s lesson was about the Universe, in all its grandeur, its immensity, and everything that remained to be discovered and learned.

Lune Lune had never realized that the spectacle unfolding before him every evening, made of sparkling stars, was truly the manifestation of other possible worlds like Esperia.

He was overcome with such intense wonder that he felt a deep desire to learn more.

Little by little, his curiosity—not only for the stars, but also for all the treasures nature offers—became what it had once been when he was young.
